I'm listening to to 'Matador' on your mySpace page (cool song by the way)...who plays the flamenco guitar on that song? I ask because I love flamenco guitar and play a little bit myself. I just thought i'd compliment on your technique. Are you playing with a pick or with your fingers, P-I-M-A-S style? Also, could anybody recommend any other surf tunes similar to this one? With flamenco/spanish guitar in it? Olé! |

Since it has been a couple days I shall answer for the lads. It is Kyle playing the guitar. Its a really sweet classical guitar. I love it. It has mojo. |

Jake, thanks for the reply. Yeah, the classical guitar really makes that song. |

The Woodies have a nice tune called "Spanish Word" that has some guitar like that (and some nice trumpet) that breaks out in the middle of the song. The song has been featured on SpongeBob also I believe. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

there is the Mystery Flamenco Guy, but its more just surf standards played with a tad of flair on a classical guitar, Rick of Rikshaw records might know something about that guy. Jeff(bigtikidude) —Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Robb, one recommendation I can make is by the Surf Coasters: Intruder #1, which is an all-acoustic flamenco-style intro to their high-powered surf instrumental Intruder. Originally on a CD called "Waiting for the Surf", but it also appears on their best-of, "Misirlou: Tenth Anniversary," which you'll probably have an easier time tracking down. If you'll allow me to trumpet my band, the Madeira, we also do a version of the Surf Coasters' Intruder together with the flamenco-style Intruder #1 on our CD-EP "Ruins." On the same CD is our version of Paco de Lucia's classic Almoraima, arranged for electric instruments, but I do play one rhythm guitar track using rasgueados on a nylon-string guitar. Finally, I play a solo middle-eastern/flamenco intro on a classical guitar on our track Burning Mirage, which you can hear on our MySpace site. I played it with a pick simply cause I wanted a bit more of a middle-eastern sound to it, a bit more oud-like. Hope you like. Ivan |

Check out Los Mex Pistols Del Norte (from Eugene!) they do lots of traditional bullring music. |

Jake's on the ball Thanks Jake you tha man 
Yes it's a 1940s vintage classical guitar with La Bella gut & nylon strings, man that's my favorite tune!!! Yes I played using traditional fingers/hands spanish style "the pima style mainly cause it's true to original classical technique" no picks here and miced with one mic when I recorded it and the only thing missing when I recorded it was the flamenco dancer gal 
I might just do that after we finish our new disc stay tuned I like this idea
